- American ‘really confident’ after opening round of 66
- Scheffler and Conners one shot behind, McIlroy one over
It has been easy to forget the permanent theatre that surrounds Bryson DeChambeau. Not so long ago, golfers both professional and amateur were trying to emulate the approach of this supposed pioneer. Bomb and gouge won the day as DeChambeau prevailed at the 2020 US Open. His ascent took him to No 4 in the world rankings.
Bryson Land has never been dull. This is the man who publicly insisted Augusta National played as a par 67 for a man of his strength. He once signed a Masters flag for a golf fan seeking out past champions of the year’s opening major on the basis he would inevitably join that company.
